You get what you pay for
So if you're looking for free hosting, don't expect much in terms of reliability and customer service.
Paid hosting doesn't have to mean it'll cost you a fortune. There are reliable and affordable webhosting companies. They'll help you find the best package to suit your requirements and if your site grows (in size and popularity) you can upgrade according to your needs and budget.
Here are a few of them...
